"you……"
Qi Yuan's voice was so hoarse that he couldn't speak, and joy and excitement filled his whole body.
At this moment, Qi Yuan was even somewhat glad that Wei Fuchi was dead.
If he had not been gone, he would never have been able to marry Xu Lingyi.
It is even more impossible for him to understand what it feels like to like someone.
Especially at this moment, after hearing what she said, Qi Yuan actually felt that he would have no regrets even if he was asked to die.
"I will never let you down in the future."
Qi Yuan solemnly promised her, "As long as I am here, I will protect you until I die..."
Xu Lingyi put her hand over his mouth and said, "I forbid Your Highness to say this word. Both Your Highness and I will live a hundred years."
If he died, she would become a widow.
Qi Yuan's lips curled up, and he kissed Xu Lingyi's hand with tenderness.
"Okay, I won't tell you."
Xu Lingyi wanted to retract her hand, but Qi Yuan grabbed it again.
She even heard Qi Yuan's groaning. His wound must have been agitated, but he just wouldn't let her go.
"I will live well, grow old with you, and protect you for the rest of my life."
Qi Yuan was in a good mood. A brief flash of guilt towards Wei Fuchi flashed through his mind, but only for a moment.
Thinking that Xu Lingyi once liked him, Qi Yuan felt a little jealous.
He reminded himself that Wei Fuchi was a good brother who had been through thick and thin with him.
Besides, he has already left, and he can't threaten his relationship with Xu Lingyi.
But at the same time, he couldn't help comparing himself with Wei Fuchi, wondering who Xu Lingyi liked more.
Qi Yuan had never thought before that he would be so despicable that he would even be jealous of his dead brother.
Qi Yuan took a deep breath and put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind.
"Is your wound hurting again, sir?"
"If you kiss me, I might not feel any pain."
Qi Yuan smiled and spoke, his eyes showing undisguised passion.
Meeting his burning eyes, Xu Lingyi lowered her head quickly as if she was burned.
"Your Highness, you and I are both injured. How can you still think about... these things?"
Qi Yuan chuckled and moved closer to her. They were both on the bed. His tall figure stood in front of her, covering her completely.
"If it weren't for the fact that you and I are both injured, this king would want more than just a kiss."
Qi Yuan's clear voice became hoarse and he lowered his voice.
"This king will take you now and make you truly my woman, completely mine."
He lowered his eyes and looked at her, with an undisguised desire in his eyes, which made Xu Lingyi feel a little scared and a little expectant.
But she didn't show these expectations.
"I'm scared now."
Qi Yuan stroked her head with his big hand, his eyes sweeping over her petite body from top to bottom, finally stopping at her slender waist. "When I recover from my injury, what will you do?"
He lowered his head and moved closer to her, their two bodies almost touching, his hoarse voice right next to her ear.
Xu Lingyi lowered her head. They were too close to each other. His hot breath hit her ears, making her cheeks flush.
Her pitiful and lovely appearance made Qi Yuan's Adam's apple roll wildly.
"You really won't even give me a kiss?"
He stretched out his rough fingertips and gently stroked her chin.
He was forcing her to take the initiative.
Xu Lingyi lowered her head and hesitated for a moment. After the two of them had experienced life and death, their feelings were obviously sublimated. It was reasonable for her to take the initiative to get closer.
Now when Qi Yuan looked at her, his eyes were filled with affection that could not be concealed, and she should give him some response and sweetness.
Love is never a one-person thing.
Xu Lingyi closed her eyes and tentatively moved closer to Qi Yuan's cheek.
Although it was just a light kiss on the face, Qi Yuan's heart was uncontrollably filled with endless joy, as if it was about to jump out.
When she stood up and distanced herself, Qi Yuan grabbed her wrist and pushed it above her head.
He was about to kiss her regardless of anything, but he heard a soft cry.
Qi Yuan finally regained his sanity and realized that both of them were patients.
"That's all for now."
Qi Yuan hugged her tightly and buried his face in her neck.
"When your princess recovers from her injuries, you must compensate me well."
Xu Lingyi lowered his head. He was obviously more seriously injured, but apart from his pale face, he seemed to be uninjured. Even now he could still think of those things.
Xu Lingyi and Qi Yuan hid in this farm for ten days before someone arrived.
The leader was Gu Qingfeng.
"Prince, sister!" Gu Qingfeng dismounted and walked quickly to Xu Lingyi and Qi Yuan.
"Are you all okay?" Gu Qingfeng's voice was nervous.
"Both the king and the princess have suffered knife and arrow wounds."
Seeing Gu Qingfeng's expression suddenly become ugly, Qi Yuan added, "It's hard to die."
Only after seeing the large team brought by Gu Qingfeng did Xu Lingyi confirm that she and Qi Yuan were completely safe.
The reason why she and Qi Yuan were injured this time was not because the rebels in Licheng were powerful, but because there were too many of them and the news of the rebellion in Licheng was hidden too deeply.
With the support of the court, the rebels will no longer be a threat.
"That's good." Gu Qingfeng sighed, "When the news of you and the princess's distress spread back to the capital, His Majesty and His Majesty were extremely anxious, especially His Majesty..."
"How is father? Is he safe?" Qi Yuan asked.
"Although His Majesty is currently fine, he has been recuperating in bed for the past few days and has not attended court."
Qi Yuan's face turned grim when he heard this. His father had never neglected state affairs unless he was really unwell.
"Before I left, His Majesty summoned me and asked me to escort you back to the capital safely as soon as possible."
Gu Qingfeng was also worried about Qi Yuan and Xu Lingyi.
